Article Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the color change caused by post-irradiation conversion (ΔE and ΔE ) and artificial aging (ΔE ) of resin cements light activated through ceramics of different opacities immediately and 6 minutes after manipulating the material.

Materials And Methods: Resin cement disks (Allcem and LuxaCore) were light activated through ceramics (without ceramic, e.max HT, LT, and MO) immediately and 6 minutes after the manipulation (n = 10). Spectrophotometry was used to evaluate ΔE and ΔE after 37˚C-dry-dark-storage for 24 hours and 8 days, and ΔE after 60˚C-water-storage for 24 hours. Data were analyzed with three-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD (α = 0.05).

Results: Regarding the post-irradiation color change, significant differences were found between the cements (p < 0.0001), light activation protocols (p = 0.037), and ceramics (p < 0.001). The immediate activation (16.2 ± 0.1) showed lower ΔE values than the delayed activation (16.5 ± 0.1). Ceramics influenced the ΔE values as follows: MO (14.0 ± 1.2) < LT (14.9 ± 1.2) ≈ HT (15.4 ± 1.2) < control (21.2 ± 1.2). Regarding ΔE , significant differences were found between cements (p < 0.001), light activation (p = 0.006), and ceramics (p < 0.001). The delayed activation (8.4 ± 0.1) showed lower values than the immediate activation (8.9 ± 0.1). Ceramic spacers influenced ΔE as follows: control (5.6 ± 0.2) < MO (6.6 ± 0.2) < HT (11.0 ± 0.2) ≈ LT (11.5 ± 0.2).

Conclusion: The delayed light activation resulted in increased color stability, while the ceramic interposition resulted in lower color stability.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of isokinetic hamstring and quadriceps muscle (IHGM)-strengthening and home exercises on balance, proprioception, fear of falling (FoF), kinesiophobia, and quality of life in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).

Methods: The peak torque/body mass of the IHGMs, the absolute angular error (AAE) and mean AAE of the less and more affected legs, and the scores of the Dynamic Gait Index, 10-meter walk test, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Modified Falls Efficacy Scale, Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQoL-54), Visual Analog Scale, and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-17 (TSK-17) were evaluated before and after the training programs.

Results: Isokinetic exercises resulted in significantly higher improvements in the BBS ( = 0.
